Chapter 20 Xi Lu

"Young Master, Kong Wenju vomited blood." Xi Lu sat down and said to Cao Chong with a smile. He was very happy when he heard the news.

"Give me... blood?" Cao Chong was stunned. Isn't that serious?

"Indeed, I heard that I had just hired the imperial physician." Xi Lu touched his beard and could see that he was in a good mood. "Kong Wenju thought he was a high-profile person in the country, and he had always been unaware of the current affairs and was arrogant. Today he was a disaster."

Cao Chong felt a little embarrassed. He was so angry that he actually vomited blood from this famous person. He was guilty and Ami carried the Buddha. However, although he felt happy, he said apologetically: "Boy is reckless, it is really Mr. Wenju who is disrespectful to his father. He is so angry that he is so..."

Xi Lu waved his hand: "Young Master, don't be uncomfortable. There is nothing to say about people who talk to such people. Kong Wenju has always been disrespectful to Lord Sikong, but Lord Sikong doesn't care about him. He really thinks he is a good person. Such a person makes him talk to me. He really has to do something, hum, he won't succeed and have more than failure!"

The two of them joked for a while, and Cao Chong handed over the things Cao Cao asked him to Xi Lu. Xi Lu took them, opened them and looked at them, and said to Cao Chong: "Please don't worry, please don't worry, to dismiss the three masters and to establish the prime minister, I will do my best to do my best, but I can't be anxious for a while, and I can't force the emperor too much."

Cao Chong nodded. From Zhou Buyi's analysis and his own feelings during this period, the establishment of the prime minister was not only as simple as the old system, but to some extent, it represented a foreshadowing of Cao Cao's future situation. Logically speaking, the prime minister cannot lead troops, but now with Cao Cao's power, who dares to hand over the military power? Even if he is willing to hand over, who dares to continue. The generals leading the troops outside are all the direct descendants of his Cao family, either Xiahou or Cao. As for the five good generals, not only Cao Cao promoted it, but the soldiers in his hands really couldn't make any big fuss. Moreover, those martial artists were only Cao Cao, the number one military genius in the Three Kingdoms, who could shock them. If someone else was changed, who could convince them?

After becoming the prime minister and taking over military power, it is really a matter of taking over military and civilian affairs. It is legitimate. It doesn’t seem to be unreasonable to use Sikong’s identity as a general like now.

The key is that in the future, when he becomes the prime minister, he will not be able to rise again in terms of his official position. The world has not yet been pacified. If he has military achievements and cannot reward him from his position, he can only reward him from his title. Cao Cao's current title is Marquis of Wuping and Marquis of County. For his subjects, this is also the highest level. If he rises further, it is not something that a minister can do. This is a contradiction. On the one hand, he has to reward him for his merits, but on the other hand, he cannot reward him. This problem will naturally be put before everyone.

Cao Cao wanted to be the prime minister, but he didn't want to be a false name like Dong Zhuo. He had a name and real name. When he arrived at this position, all the civil servants and military generals would have to express their opinions. It was impossible to be like before. Anyway, no one would say it, and they would pretend to be confused together.

Since Xi Lu said that he wanted to give time to the emperor to think about it, it means that this matter is only a matter of time. The emperor had to agree and agree to disagree. Giving some time was just a matter of face. Thinking of the emperor's current mood, Cao Chong felt a little indescribable. From the bottom of his heart, the emperor was indeed a bit cowardly in this respect. However, it is probably not a good thing to have a strong emperor like Emperor Wu of Han. Even the prince could kill anyone, and there were still people who could not be killed. Especially when Sima Qian, Cao Chong had no good feelings for Emperor Wu of Han who made the great men in his previous life like him. Although he highly praised Mao Taizu in his previous life, he was not very fond of the Han Wu of him.

"Then it's all up to Duke Xi." Cao Chong bowed to Xi Lu.

"I dare not take it, I dare not take it, I should do my best." Xi Lu hurriedly returned the greeting.

After talking about the official business, Cao Chong pointed to the piles of books in Xilu's study and asked some questions, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He had seven or six orifices for the popular classics in the Three Kingdoms - he knew nothing. In front of the disciples of Master Xilu, he did not dare to show his fear. He just said a few words and said goodbye to Xilu.

It can be seen that Zhou Buyi doesn't like Xi Lu very much, and he can even hate him, so he just hid in the car outside the door and didn't enter Xi's mansion at all. While chatting with the little maid in the car, he looked outside from the curtain. When he saw Cao Chong and the others walking out, he quickly got out of the car and met him.

"Let's go back to Yecheng." Cao Chong jumped into the car and shouted to Xu Yi.

"Why, I'll go back today? Don't see Jia Wenhe? Don't go to Sikong Changshi Camp?" Zhou Buyi asked in confusion.

Sikong Chief Wang Bi led a part of his troops to station outside Xu County, guarding Xu County, protecting Xu County to the outside world, and monitoring Xu County internally. Cao Chong had planned to go to the camp before, but now he was rushing back to Yecheng because of Kong Rong's affairs. He had a good time, but when he thought that Kong Rong was also a Taizhong doctor and often accompanied the emperor, if it affected Cao Cao and wanted to be the prime minister, it would be a bit troublesome, so he had to hurry back and report to Cao Cao first. It would be better to find an opportunity to see this camp in the future.

Alas, it’s all my fault that I’ve done something good, but I’m not going to succeed and have enough trouble. I come excitedly and go back in shame.

"Young Master, you can't do this. It's useless to rush back. Let's wait here. No matter how influential Kong Rong is, he is not as good as Mr. Wenhe. Let's go and meet Mr. Wenhe."

Cao Chong turned his head, glanced at Zhou Buyi, who was very calm, and slowly calmed down. He also felt that he had made some big fuss just now, wasn’t it just Kong Wenju? He is a Taizhong doctor, and Jia Xu is also a Taizhong doctor. Besides, they are all Xi Lu’s subordinates. If Xi Lu can’t control this, it would be a bit too weak.

I am still too young and have never experienced anything. When I see an accident, I get in a mess.

He let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "It's getting late today, so I'd better take a night off and go to the Jia Mansion tomorrow."

Zhou Buyi looked at Cao Chong whose mind was gradually calming down, and nodded with a smile on his face. However, he couldn't help but sigh involuntarily. The young master in the past was calm no matter what he encountered. After being injured this time, he was much more impetuous. It was a pity that he was worse than before.

However, for him, Zhou Buyi, this may not be a bad thing. At least the young master's attitude towards His Majesty was very ambiguous, not as clear as it is now. But at that time, the young master guessed his thoughts thoroughly. It was impossible for him to think about anything. Now, the situation is obviously changing, such as he can decide some things for him and do some things.
